Scabies is a contagious disease that is caused by small insects called mites, primarily the ‘human itch mite’. Small blisters are formed along the trail where the mites lay the eggs. You may experience symptoms of intense itching at night. The usual spots where scabies usually tends to develop are the fingers, armpits, elbows, and the inner thighs. But now a homeopathic cure for scabies is available.

This disease can spread by touch; sharing toiletries or sleeping with an infected person all contribute to the spread of this disease. The eggs and the feces of the mites in the burrows of the skin are what causes the itching in scabies. The eggs and the feces usually trigger allergic reactions on the skin.
